Definition and Notation of Simple Curve20 September 2013

20 September 2013

Definition and Notation of Simple Curve 1) Back tangent or First Tangent ‐ AT₁– Pervious to the curve2) Forwardd Tangent or Secondd tangent‐ B T₂‐ Following the curve.3) Point of Intersection ( P.I.) or Vertex. (v)If the tangents AT₁ and BT₂ .are produced theywillill meett ini a pointi t calledll d theth pointi t offintersection4)Point of curve ( P.C.)P C ) –BeginningBeginning Point T₁T of acurve. Alignment changes from a tangent tocurve.20 September 2013

Definition and Notation of Simple Curve 5)) Point off Tangency ‐ PT– End point of curve ( T₂ ) is called.6)) Intersection Angleg (Ø )‐ The Angle AVB between tangent AV and tangent VB iscalled.7) Deflection Angle ( )The angle at P.I. between tangent AV and VB is called.8)Tangent Distance –It is the distance between P.C. and P.I.9) External Distance – CIThe distance from the mid point of the curve to P.I.It is also called the apex distance.10) Length of curve – lI isIti theh totall lengthlh off curve fromfP C to P.TP.C.PT.20 September 2013

Definition and Notation of Simple Curve11) Long Chord– It is the chord joining P.C. to P.T., T₁ T₂ is a long chord.12) Normal Chord:A chord between two successive regular station on a curve iscalled normal chord. Normally , the length of normal chord is 1chain ( 2o mt).13) Sub chordThe chord shorter than normal chord ( shorter than 20 mt) iscalled sub chord)14) Versed sine – Distance CDThe distance between mid point of long chord ( D ) and the apexpoint C, is called versed sine. It is also called mid‐ ordinate ( M).15) Right hand curve:If the curve deflects to the right of the direction of the progressof survey.16) Left hand curveIf theth curve deflectsd fl t tot theth leftl ft off theth directiondi ti off theth progressof survey.20 September 2013

Designation of curveThe sharpness of the curve is designated by twoways.( 1 ) By radius ( R)( 2) ByB DegreeDoff CurvatureCt(D)( 1 ) By radius ( R)Curve is known by the length of its radius‐radius R20 September 2013

Designation of curve( 2) By Degree of Curvature ( D )Chord DefinitionArc DefinitionThe Angle subtended atthe centre of curve by achordh d off 30 or 20 mt. isicalleddegreeofcurvature.The Angle subtended atthe centre of curve by an30 or 20 mt.arc oflength is called degree ofcurve.If an angle subtended atthe centre of curve by achord of 20 mt is 5 , the20 September 2013curve is called 5 curveUsed in America, canada,India etc.etc
